California glaciers growing

California Glaciers Growing – 9 Jul 08 – An AP article by Samantha Young admits that all seven glaciers on California’s Mount Shasta are growing. The article then goes on to rhapsodize about global warming.

The seven tongues of ice creeping down Mount Shasta’s flanks “are the only known glaciers in the continental U.S. that are growing,” the article says.

How convenient. Let’s ignore Crater Glacier on Mount St. Helens, which is not only growing, but is now larger than it was prior to the 1980 eruption that entirely obliterated it.

How convenient. Let’s ignore the fact that the Nisqually Glacier on Mount Rainier is growing. Let’s ignore the most continuously monitored glacier in the northern hemisphere.

How convenient. Let’s restrict our conversation to mountain glaciers. Let’s ignore the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, which covers almost five million square miles, and is growing. Growing! The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is almost 100 times bigger than all of the rest of the world’s glaciers put together, which means that 90 percent of the world’s glaciers are growing.

Please let your local news sources know that you don’t appreciate this kind of cover up.
